This ajopears to us to be an exceedingly good method of not only popularising bee keeping, but of ensuring that future bee- keepers â will know how to follow the occu- pation on the proper lines. AVe have known peoj^le of all ages up to 80 years commence bee-keeping, and carry it on successfully; but, as in everything else, those who commence keeping bees when youjig, if they only try to do so on up- to-date lines, and study the subject are likely to be the most successful. These young bee-keepers liave not only had the pleasure and interest of managing their liives, but also a substantial dividend on their capital. Very feAv businesses will give a return equal to one-third of the capital invested with rather less than a year's working, and we are not surprised to hear that some of the shareholders on leaving school have sold their shares for Is. Id. and Is. 2d. each. Both buyers and sellers have evidently a keen eye to business, which augiTrs well for their suc- cess in after life in other directions as well as bee-keeping. We congratulate Mr. Bennetts on the success of his scheme, and hope to hear more of it in the future. FxitsT Annual Report of the Petbesfield Boys' School Bee Club.
